Poison lyrics

Artist  : Laurie Anderson 
Song : Poison



 Send "Poison" Ringtone to your Cell 

 It was one of those black cat night
The moon had gone out and the air was thin
It was the kind of night the cat would drag in.

I'll never forget it, we had a fight.
Then you turned around turned on the light. You
left our bed.
Then you moved downstairs to live with her
instead.
Yeah just one floor and a shout away.
I guess I should have moved but I decided to
stay.
Did I drink some poison that I don't remember
now?

And every night I open all the windows
I let a cold dark wind blow through.
I play loud organ music and I talk to myself and
dream of you.
Uh oh! I hear voices coming up through the pipes.
Through all the springs in my bed and up through
the lights.
The volume goes up then it drops back down
I can hear the two of you playing records
Moving furniture and fooling around.

Did I drink some poison that I don't remember
now?
Is there blood on my hands?
No, my hands are clean.
Did I do something in another lifetime
That was really really mean?

Yeah I'm hearing voices.
Am I losing my mind?
Think I'm going crazy, I gotta get out.
I run into the street and start to shout
Get out of my way! Get out! Get out!

Did I drink some poison that I don't remember
now?
Is there blood on my hands?
Did I do something in another lifetime
that was really really mean?

A small bullet, a piece of glass
And your heart just grows around it.
